Love

And they lay cocooned in each other’s warm embrace. An angel on her journey, immortalizing love under the velvet cover of the night whispered a little prayer. The prayer enveloped them, and wrapped their heartbeats into a sublime symphony. They looked into each others’ eyes. The guy placed her head on his arm, and turned towards her. There was no place safer, an embrace more comfortable, and a heart any warmer, she thought. She touched his cheek, and she smiled slowly, till her cheeks swelled. His lips curled gently, while their gaze remained transfixed. She knew the moment was etched, and it was meant to be. She blinked, took in a deep breath and lip-synched an I love you. He hugged her closer, a little tighter, and kissed her on the forehead. I want to spend all my life here, she thought, with him. The words were less, and the voice feeble. But the sound was loud, and the gravity of emotion profound. As his touch loosened, he whispered an I love you back into the spill of silence. A tear rolled down her cheek, patiently, like it were waiting by the side. She pressed her eyes close and the drop rolled down. Her heart was beating a little faster. She inhaled the smell of his warm breath, and hid the tear drop in the spaces between her fingers. The angel smiled, it was beautiful, the human emotion - love.
